Chapter 858 “Please Take My Uncle (4)”
“No need, I won’t intervene in other people’s feelings, not to mention this needs to solved by their own hands. But…” Bai Yan’s lip curls into a thoughtful smile, “You can go inform Shaoling. Tell him she’s here in the Holy Land.”
“Okay,” Chu Yi Yi’s eyes lit up.
When she spent a period of time in the kingdom of Liu Huo, the image she got of the Lan family was very good because none of them abandoned Bai Yan and her son. Perhaps it’s as the old saying goes: good people will have good fortune.
“Oh right…” a young and handsome face appears in the princess’s mind just then, “Bai Yan, do you still not have word on Bai Xiao’s whereabout yet? I haven’t seen him for a long time….”
Bai Xiao?
Her heart shook at the name. Clenching that hand until its slightly trembling, Bai Yan shakes her head at the end despite the infinite worry she has for her own brother.
“I have sent the Flower Brothel and Demon Beast Sect out to look for him after he left without a word. Though there’s still no word from him, I believe he will one day return to my side once he has garnered enough strength.”
That teen has always wanted to rely on his own strength in order to support her, not to rely on his sister. So, when he became aware of the close relationship Bai Yan had with the Holy Land, he promptly refused the offer to come.
“So not even you know about his whereabout….?” Slowly exhaling a long breath, there’s a sense of disappointment in the princess’s face.
Not missing this picture, Bai Yan’s face immediately lit up. Hurrying to grasp onto the lass’s shoulder, there’s joy in the woman’s eye: “Yi Yi, you and my brother….”
“Huh?” Staring blankly at that hopeful face, Chu Yi Yi didn’t take much time to realize what the over the top reaction was about. Hurrying to step backwards, “Hey now, don’t get the wrong idea… I’m only worried about him, nothing more….”
Smiling all the way into her bones, Bai Yan didn’t buy that explanation one bit. Patting the lass’s shoulder like a good older sister, “Although we weren’t able to become family, but this is also a good turn of event.”
“….” The princess makes a baffled face. Indeed, this time Bai Yan’s misunderstanding was a serious one.
It’s then the little steambun also pops his nosy head from somewhere. Grinning on the face like his mother: “Sister Yi Yi cares about Uncle, that must mean she likes him. Perhaps it won’t be long before I can start calling her Auntie instead.”
“Auntie, Auntie.” Always as supportive, Dragony follows up with that word like a happy go lucky kid who just learned of a new word.
In that instant, not even Chu Yi Yi’s thick face could remain unfazed. Blushing hard: “What are you saying Xiachen? And you Dragony, what are you trying to do… I and him… we’re not like that. And even if we did… no wait, I’m only using a metaphor. Also I can’t be your auntie!”
Making a naughty face, Dragony was learning all the wrong things from the boy: “Her Highness is kinder than my own mother. Even though I only call her Queen, I have long considered her my mother so you being my auntie is fine.”
“Auntie, my uncle isn’t too bad. Sure, his character may be on the cold end, but that’s only to strangers and not family.” Pulling at the flustered girl’s hand, Bai Xiachen starts throwing his careless words around without a care: “Why don’t you just take him?”
